The next year, in 1862, the entire Western Main Line from Gothenburg Central Station to Stockholm Södra was completed, and this was celebrated with a special royal train, which made a ten-minute stop in Gnesta.

Upon its arrival at Gothenburg Central the next day, the Kings of Sweden and Norway, Karl XV, declared the railway officially open.

The station house at Gnesta also served as the prototype for one of the standard models used by Swedish Railways (SJ), known as the Gnestamodellen.

Other roles included railway engineers, station clerks, track guards, bridge attendants, office assistants, pump operators, and porters.
